Ice Cream!

We don't eat a lot of desert around the Smoochy house. Don't get me wrong, we usually have ice cream in the freezer and I like to bake as much as the next stay at home mom with a sweet tooth, but after dinner we usually move right from the table to bathing the kids. Well, at my parent's house there is USUALLY ice cream for desert. My mom actually hails from a long line of desert eaters. At my grandma's house desert is as much as a given as the vegetable.

Anyway, since we have been visiting with my mom, Normy has become quite the ice cream lover.

Tonight he was given his own small dish... which he quickly and happily ate. When his portion was gone, I scooped out a little of my own and put it in his dish. I wanted to keep him occupied and in his seat. He quickly ate what I gave him and pushed his dish back to me for more. I couldn't refuse him, so shared a little more. This went on until my dish was empty as well. At that point Normy started looking around the table to see who else might be willing to share their ice cream. Aunt Kate was the closest and most likely candidate... so he pushed his dish to her. She still had quite a bit left, and she has a soft spot for him. His dish must have passed between them at least three times before her ice cream was gone too. I know it isn't coming out in this story, but it was so funny at the time. We were all laughing so hard.
